Do you think the real background story was published in the Yugoslav newspapers funded by Soros? > I agree with both Mikes on what they > said. The U.S. used the Depleted Uranium Shells in Yugoslavia as we have in > Iraq in both wars. Bad stuff. I didn't contest the DUS statement, but to put the blame on anonymous entities like the World Bank while taking the blame away from the deep pockets who personally gained from the break-up and the resulting sell-out of resources. And even if one insists on blaming the WB, one should look at the decision- makers at the helm of it, and their personal connections. --- > I thought I made myself clear about Hungarians.

I do business with individuals, not with nations, so I prefer to assess them as individuals. Of course one should take cultural backgrounds into account as an influence, but "Hungarians are great" is as wrong as "Hungarians are crooks" to assess a person. > You certainly would have a lot of trouble with my people.

The approach of my culture is to dialogue with everyone -- we even mediate between Iran and USA. This culture of dialogue probably enabled us to keep the peace for centuries, also among our 4 language groups, while our neighbors were shooting at each other. Of course a bigot could say that makes us bad people and war profiteers, just because he doesn't like what I (as an individual) say. > I "read" both Soros and Patacki.

This reminds a bit of the proverb that the man who kills one person is a criminal but the man who kills millions is a great statesman. Madoff may have defrauded a few rich buddies, but Soros' policies in the East had much worse impacts on tens of millions of people, and contributed to tens of thousands of deaths. It is quite telling about the system that Madoff got 150 years while Soros is considered a philanthropist and can legally keep reaping billions from every "crisis" while more people fall into misery after being "liberated" from their assets. > One more point.

Btw I'm a vegetarian... > I believe you have to respect what you eat. What's the difference for the prey? Does it know at all that you "respect" it? Anyway, to say that billionaires have respect for the people they rip off, is a bit much...
